Technically, that's incorrect under the Queen's English rules. It happens to be correct for American English, though, which makes it correct to my ears as well. However, as Security Chief Garibaldi once said, "It's an imperfect universe."

Well, I suppose this is one of those "tyre" "tire" things. However, I doubt Her Majesty would refer to NBC as a "singular plural;" the elite don't like oxymorons.

Yup. Kidney pie is truly vile. But then so is NBC so I guess this isn't really off topic.

Singular plural = collective noun.

Singular plural = collective noun.

Very good Holmes, but I was pointing out how that synonym probably isn't the "official" term. Much like how we don't say "boom sticks" in place of "guns."
